City Power on boards 24 unemployed engineering graduates – October 2016

In line with government’s mandate to reduce unemployment and to ensure that graduates are gainfully employed, specifically in sectors where there’s a shortage of skills, City Power has deployed 24 students. This also in response to the National Treasury’s call to improve and provide employment opportunities for unemployed youth. Approximately 200 qualified individuals applied, regrettably City Power could only on-board 24. R7.7 million has been set aside to remunerate the students over a 3-year period. Other utilities we challenged to follow suit.
